The process for participating in sports:-

As each sports competition is being organised the teacher with responsibility for that sport will:

Send notices to relevant classes asking for expressions of interest from the students.

Collect confirmation of interest and organise and register teams to participate as appropriate.

Send home letters to parents to confirm children’s participation and team details, including where to find information about sports’ draws.

Please make sure that you remind your child to watch out for these and to take a notice, even they aren’t entirely sure, so that they can talk at home about playing that sport. Once they are a part of a team, please make sure your children listen for information on team meetings, game times and cancellations, etc. Also please inform your coach or manager immediately if you know your children will be absent from a game or practice. Children learning about commitment and fair play are as important as learning the skills of the game.

Sports Uniforms

Sports uniforms may be purchased from school. These are $35 for a top and shorts which are subsidised by the PTA. Socks are $10 a pair and all codes,except hockey, need the crew sock. Parents must purchase the socks.

Uniforms are available to be hired if parents prefer. This costs $5 per season. When hiring a uniform, parents still need to buy the socks. At the end of the season uniforms must be returned to school promptly as they are needed for the next season of sports. It is parents’ responsibility to ensure that they are returned clean and in good repair.
